Less famous than the colourful paintings are the black-and-white works of art by Roy Lichtenstein. Between 1961 and 1968 the artist created black-and-white drawings, which aren’t understood to be preparatory drawings to the black-and-white canvas being produced at the same time. In fact they are seen as an independent group of work. In the Albertina in Vienna the drawings are shown until the 15th of may, complemented by some of the black-and-white canvas.
